Not content to let its cousins on The CW hog all of the good DC characters, NBC has announced that Irish actor Emmett Scanlan will be appearing on Constantine as Detective Jim Corrigan, the guy who will eventually become The Spectre. According to Entertainment Weekly, this version of Corrigan is “obsessed with justice,” and he “doesn’t let police procedure or red tape stop him from putting away the bad guys.” As comic book nerds will know, Corrigan takes on the role of God’s personal agent of vengeance once he becomes The Spectre. So, at the risk of spoiling his entire shtick, we’re going to assume that “putting away the bad guys” is a euphemism for “killing all of the bad guys.” Also, unless NBC makes some drastic changes to The Spectre’s design, look for Scanlan to spend a lot of time wearing a green cape, green underwear, and nothing else.
